San Francisco in 1940 is a haven for the unconventional.
Inspired by the pulps, film noir, and screwball comedy, Passing Strange is a story as unusual and complex as San Francisco itself from World Fantasy Award winning author Ellen Klages..
They discover love and danger on the borders where magic, science, and art intersect.
Six women find their lives as tangled with each other\'s as they are with the city they call home.
Tourists flock to the cities within the city: the Magic City of the World\'s Fair on an island created of artifice and illusion; the forbidden city of Chinatown, a separate, alien world of exotic food and nightclubs that offer "authentic" experiences, straight from the pages of the pulps; and the twilight world of forbidden love, where outcasts from conventional society can meet.
